Thinking with my heart has led me down the wrong path, way too often.?
The Rams need better players than Salas to become winners, lets be honest.?

If Salas is a good number three that would be great, as long as he making plays behind Lloyd and Justin Blackmon, I think a guy named Ricky made a big time catch for his first TD of that year! 1999

So yeah I agree we need big-time players but we also need solid three and four WR.

Another wasted pick. Good job front office. No worries, Williams will probably get picked up by another team, receive better coaching than he did here, and make it as a starter. You know, what usually happens when we cut somebody.

Really Mike? Not even including the Giants debacle from what I've seen from Salas so far I don't see him as a weapon at all. I hope you're right!

Mark Levoir played in 32 games for the Pats from 2008-2010 , so he should know the offense.

Although he only started 2 games, he is 6ft 7in guard that could help with rotation and scheme for the Rams...

Heck, anything to push our current guys is a plus

Let's hope he does better than he did with the Rams back in 2007 when he was rented for the season and then given the boot.

He could have crumpled like tin foil after the Giants game ramsbruce, but he got himself together and is creating separation, making the catches, and getting pretty good YAC. Against Green Bay he had 8 catches for 77 yards and averaged 16.5 yards a catch against Dallas. I think the potential is there.

Yep, the Pro Bowl is full of ex Rams year in and year out who were cut only to receive better coaching elsewhere.

You're right he could have crumpled, and good for him that he didn't. I guess when I think "weapon" so far he doesn't fit the bill for me and I'm not sure I see it it all. Hopefully I'm wrong.

Re: Rams waived LB Jabara Williams

I want to know WTH is our Linebacker Coach and WTH is he doing? Must be nice to play golf in the Bahamas 6 out of 7 days a week!! I'm still debating what is worse off this year, our Linebacker play or our Secondary.. at least the secondary coach can say we have had 49 CB's on the DL and Justin kIng is in Beast Mode. -_-

Re: Rams waived LB Jabara Williams

Guys... he was a 7th round pick. Not 7th overall. 7th round.

Why are you all kicking off saying the draft was terrible because a 7th round pick just got cut? It's a surprise a 7th rounder even makes the roster out of training camp, let alone is active for any games.

And anyone who EXPECTS the Rams to find starters in those later rounds is delusional. It can happen, but it's rare.

Thats not all. Considering the fact that 4 rookies have been cut before the season is already over is pretty sad. Just reflects on how good our scouting/drafting management are.

Sad...... by what standards? Because a 5th, and three 7th's didn't make it through their rookie year?

Thats how it starts. Next year a 3rd goes. The year after the 2nd, and so on. Its because our FO has almost no clue how to draft. "Yeah they hit on Bradford and Laurinaitis" so what? Thats 2 guys. Saffold had 1 good year, and a bad year. Kendricks hasn't shown a thing yet. I'll give Kendricks and Quinn time obviously, and same as Saffold and Bradford. But really? We're happy because he can bang on 1st round picks?
